What would happen if you chucked beans in? either during the mash or in the FV like you would a dry hop.

Its a good doc if taken at face value. The actual "science" behind it isn't great though.

I'm a nutritionist. One of those boring ones that says a balanced diet is key.

Have to agree there. Most of my daily work is trying to argue against pseudo-science and Voodoo nonsense. It's enough to drive you to drink!

Yep, that's exactly what it is. They call themselves "banters" though, no idea why. Just makes the whole thing sound even more cult-like imo haha

Can't remember who asked but I saw someone mention they weren't sure what "banting" was. It's basically the low-carb high fat gimmick, sorry diet (LCHF). It's as it sounds, not much carbs but plenty of fat so most blokes see it as carte blanche to eat tons of meat a day and pretend they're...

There is some evidence that high animal protein diets are not great for before a training session and links to reduced gut biodiversity. If you're interested in this can dig some papers out if you like?

I'm a nutritionist by trade so have a fairly decent understanding of this topic. Firstly we're not carnivorous but omnivorous, we've evolved to eat both things that move and things that grow. The problem with meat is not necessarily the meat itself but the quantities we eat it in. Up until...

Could you use a normal pressure cooker to ferment under pressure? Or at least dry hop under pressure? I have 3, ranging from 3 -8L in size so would be great if I could and avoid having to splash out. My main concern would be bottling as there is no tap on the pressure cookers so I'd have to pour...

Afternoon all. Hope everyone is well. I recently cleaned my new tap for my mini keg with Oxy (sodium percarbonate) and the plastic parts that were black are now a kind of grey. Is this something to worry about? Cheers

Hi guys, just a question regarding using juices or sugar etc. Does it make a big difference when using a juice, which will be pure fructose, as opposed to "normal" sugar which is glucose+fructose? Cheers

I got one of these for Xmas too. Hopefully they'll turn out better than the Flytrap seeds I got last Xmas which ended up being some odd weed, quite pretty but definitely not a venus flytrap!!

Yeah I've been using baby sterilising stuff too, plus ethanol to spray on things and so far good!

Also a cyclist here, I'm afraid some people are just idiots! They're an idiot on a bike, behind the wheel of a car, down the pub, at home!!

Sounds wise!

What about dry hopping with 2 types of hops? Good idea? Terrible idea? I also have some Northern Brewer (German)

Yesterday I brewed 5l with 1kg Maris Otter 500g Halcyon Pale 500g Munich Light 50g Oats Hops were: 20g Northern Brewer, spaced out over the boil time 8g Kents Golding added when the wort was at 75c Yeast US West coast M44 This is going to be left in the FV over xmas and then I'll...
